They Took My Mom and Dad : ACLU s Mother s Day Ad Urges Biden Admin to Reunite Migrant Families
On 5/8/21 at 11:27 AM EDT
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will run a two-page ad in
The New York Times on Mother s Day, in an emotional plea urging President Joe Biden to reunite migrant families who were separated at the border under Donald Trump s administration.
The ad, which was seen on Saturday by
Newsweek, shows handwritten notes from migrant children against the backdrop of a childhood growth chart.
The heart-wrenching statements from children include: They took my mom and dad, I don t know if I ll ever be home again, and Will my mom remember me? while showcasing that every day that a child is stuck at the border, they will continue to grow without their families.
